I've checked out PrivacyGuides itself, the new oil and SSD. These all seem a bit too advanced/complex to me, I want something simple and secure, preferably open-source too. Any help would be appreciated.

What are your needs ? What are the services/software you want to ditch ? What are the threats you want to protect from ?

There is no universal privacy guides.

Is there no general simple guide? I mean the above ones are definitely all-rounders. Not perfect but sort of a peek at privacy.

You didn' aswer my questions. We can not help with such wide request.

The ones you mentioned are the simple guides.

Are they asking for a guide that does not work, a fake guide? That would be simple.

Short answer: no

Longer answers start asking questions and people here can address them in bite sized format.

But bigger picture who are you trying to deny your data and how much is u willing to suffer for it.

Once you figure that out you start implementing practices and software to provide you with desirable outcome at that's still usable.
